INITIATION TO GiD

The philosophy of this tutorial is to get familiarized with GiD: how to change the views of the model, how to manage the Layers, and other basic features. Some of these features are both in the preprocessing and the postprocessing parts of GiD, although the examples shown are from the preprocessing one.

Many times, the text will refer to 'entities'. Almost all the options explained in this tutorial are valid both for geometrical and mesh entities, although the examples used are often geometrical ones.

The topics in this tutorial are further explained in the Reference Manual. We have selected some of the basic features to give to the user some basic tips to start working with GiD and make the rest of the tutorials.
